This model offers good value for a memory upgrade.
You're considering upgrading your laptop's memory after reviewing some information online. Based on the details you shared, it seems like the laptop is limited to 2666MHz RAM, and the suggested upgrade is a 32GB DDR4 kit with specific specifications. This could potentially improve performance if the device supports it. However, since your machine already has such a high limit, upgrading might not be necessary unless you're experiencing stability issues or want extra capacity for multitasking. Always check your laptop's compatibility before making changes. Let me know if you need further clarification!
Check the 1rx16 components since the 1rx8 runs slower as shown in the makers' video about downgrading laptops. Look at the RAM chips—if it's a single-sided stick without chips on the other side, that’s what you should avoid. A 16GB model is usually double-sided, so no major concerns here. This setup likely matches the reason smaller SSDs under 500GB are slower than larger ones over 500GB. The RAM you pick should work, but if the 3200MHz option costs just a few dollars more or less than your current 2666, it might be worth it for future upgrades. You can reuse the existing RAM instead of buying new one.
I checked the options carefully. The cheapest RAM kit I found costs $166.56, which is a bit high. But it seems you can still use a 3200 MHz model even though the board only supports 2666 MHz—no problems expected.
It might just slow down the RAM to 2666 or possibly 2933, but it should work fine.
